assertion error if they are called with an exception set (PyErr_Occurred()).
As PyEval_EvalFrameEx(), they may clear the current exception and so the caller
looses its exception.
It was easy to miss the call to type->tp_init because it was done in a long
conditional expression. Split the long expression in multiple lines to make the
debug step by step easier.
type->tp_str must not point to slot_tp_str() if type has no __str__ attribute,
so there is no reason for slot_tp_str() to fallback on slot_tp_str() on lookup
error. Moreover, calling PyErr_Clear() may hide a real bug like MemoryError.
If __str__ attribute is removed, slots must be updated (which is done by
type_setattro()).
... (unsigned long and unsigned int) to avoid an undefined behaviour with
Py_TPFLAGS_TYPE_SUBCLASS ((1 << 31). PyType_GetFlags() result type is now
unsigned too (unsigned long, instead of long).
sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator
chains ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container
types.
Because of this change, a couple extension modules compiled for 2.7.4
(those which use the trashcan mechanism, despite it being undocumented)
will not be loadable by 2.7.3 and earlier. However, extension modules
compiled for 2.7.3 and earlier will be loadable by 2.7.4.

This also alters the fix to #11603. Specifically, setting __repr__ to
object.__str__ now raises a recursion RuntimeError when str() or repr() is
called instead of silently bypassing the recursion. I believe this behavior is
more correct.
